train from the south got stuck in the

lowed by a passenger train from the
east, half q mile a part. The former
sent a brakeman back to flag the coming
train, but the engineer had his cab
window closed and did not see the second
train, and crashed into the h%inacoach,
completely telescoping it. Most OF the
passengers saw the train coming in time
to get out. The few who were in the
car escaped with bruises, and the fremen
on the engines were both hurt, but it is
thought not seriously. Nine were in
jured, but zone killed. 1t was a wonder

and mail car were smashed up, making a
fearful wreck. It took twelve hours to
clear h track. The injured were cared
for by physicians from this village. The

DELEGATION have Joined hands to labor FOR
This result. They so informed Mr.. Car.
Isle, and that gentleman assured them
that whatever bills shonId come from the
way and means committee would most
likely receive his sanction, but added
that he thought no immediate or radical
Tariff legislation would come from this
source, and that the bill brought over
from last congress was good and would
come up again. Any proposal for abso-
lutte repeal he considered germane to this
bin, and if introduced as an amendment
it would receive due consideration. The
chief feature of this bill is mitigating the
penalties for violations OF revenue laws.
The whole delegation, Mr.. Cawies says,
I~realize that unless fayora lie action Is
taken by this congress, on t is question,
the result will be disastrous to the De-
mocracy in North Carolina. No bill ii
the last congress vas labored for more per-
sistently than that introduced just before
its close for the relief of the tobacco and
brandy interestss but the measure was
not brought up until it was too late for
anything to be accomplished. The North
Carolina delegates now demand that they
be allowed a fighting chance upon the
floor, that the bill he brought up for con
sideration, and in season for the presi
dents action, and that no other policy
will satisfy the people of North Carolina.
Speaking for himself, Mr.. Cowles de-
clared that he was heart and soul for the
repeal; that his motto was tariff for reve-
nue. only. Senator Ransom is not SO
outspoken on the subject. He thinks
that prosperity for his state depends upon
Democratic a%scendency, and this is wholly
conditional upon harmony in the party.
If he must fight, he prefers to fight Re-
publicans rather than Mr.. Carlisle or
Mr.. Randall. but while he thinks a
united Democracy the first requisite nt
prosperity, he will labor for the repeal OF
internal revenue as far as can be con
sistently done.

NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
Over Forty Plans for a New Basis Can
rassed, but None Practicable.

Over Forty Plans for a New Basis Can
vassed, but None Practicable.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The annual re-
port of Comptroller of the CurrencyTren-
holm, a partial summary of which has
been published, includes a summary of
suggestions received by the comptroller
from all parts of the country respectinga
new basis for a national bank circula-
ton. Over forty plans have been pro-
posed, n these are reduced to Ave
propositions: First, TIC do away with the
note-issuing function of the banks; sec
ond, to increase the inducements for the
banks to deposit United States bonds
as a basis of national bank
circulation; third, to provide by a new
Issue of bonds for q continuance of the
present or of some modified system Of
national bank circulation based on
United States bonds; fourth, to substi-
tute some other security for United
States bonds deposited in the treasury AZ
a basis for national bank circulation:
fifth, to allow the banks to issue circula-
ton upon their general credit without re-
quiring specific security to be deposited.
The comptroller, after an elaborate dis
~cnssion of these propositions, the second,
third and fifth, finally reaches this CON
clusion:
sit would appear that no substitute
yet proposed for Che present basis OF
national bank circulation is suffi-
GENTLY free from objection. to
be adopted. The 4 per cent.
bonds will not mature for 90 years, and
apart from other considerations there is
enough in this fact to justify caution and
delay in making any radical change in
the basis OF circulation. At the same
time, no doubt something acceptable will
be devised, but at present all thnt seems
practicable is to modify the existing law
80 as to obviate its incnnyeniepces and as
a first step toward this end it appears
both safe and wise to reduce the mini
mum amount of bonds to be kept on de-
posit,n

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Post declares its

that they indignantly refused to enter
tain the idea At the solicitation OF the
same PArnellites American Fenians I'M
dertook the task, and with that end In
view arrived In Great Britain from the
continent a fortnight ago. Acting In con-
cart with a few Irish Fenfans these men
arranged to remove the rails between
Kingstown and Dublin In order to wreck
the train on which Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Goschen would proceed TO Dublin
last week, and it WAS further understood
that they should fire fnto the train after
1t had keen wrecked In order to make the
deeth of their victims certain. The
scheme was abandoned, however, when
1t became known that Lord Harrington
and MI. Goschen were travelling

also ascertained thar Lord Harrington
had driven straight to Mr.. Powers
residence st Lcopardstown, avoiding pas
sage through Dublin. 1t was next sr.
ranged by the conspfrators, says tho
